I think there’ll be a player worth drafting. I have heard rumours of Miller wanting a change of scenery.... if it’s to a contender. Can’t blame him with where he’s at in his career. I do think this is where we could take advantage of the expansion draft. Edited May 23, 2021 by 70seven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats possible, which is why I was suggesting the offer sheet route above. @BPA pointed out it would effect the next two drafts but maybe thats OK. Your idea is cleaner and simpler. But if Buffalo doesn't go for it, if we can move Loui to NJ by dropping down in the draft we still have the threat of an offer sheet, which I think Sammy does sign.

Your idea is cleaner and simpler. I just don’t feel like the Canucks will be in on any big fish.... Reinhart is a top line talent imo. I think the likes of Kerfoot is the level of player we’ll see targeted, but just my opinion. Edited May 23, 2021 by 70seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see him doing anything but going to arbitration and getting a 1 year deal and then walking from Buffalo. He's as good as gone as soon as he can walk. I do think moving Loui to NJ is an easier sell than to Buffalo, thanks to that Skinner contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...people who use other's pic/name to tweet stuff really should reconsider. It seems so wrong and impersonating someone else just isn't funny anymore. Maybe the first time someone did it on Twitter...but it's annoying more than anything. I almost fell for that one too.

DeNiro Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Does Eriksson really want to toil away in the AHL for a season? I can’t see it at his age and with the money he’s already made. If he thinks another nhl team is gonna give him a shot he needs a serious dose of reality. Edited May 23, 2021 by DeNiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside of having a team in Abbotsford is will he mind playing in the minors for one year? Utica was more of a demotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumba or Eriksson Ek could be available Not really. The Wild will ask players to waive per LeBrun but if they don’t it doesn’t look to be that much of an issue. The Wild are seeing in this series how dumb they were last time around. The players they were so scared of losing aren’t even with the team anymore and they certainly regret not having Tuch. Eriksson Ek is for sure protected. He’s been one of their most impactful players and Guerin has made it clear he is not available. With the signing of Hartman and Foligno it feels likely that they will go 7F. They don’t even need to ask their NMCs to waive. If Parise waives they can protect 4th liner Sturm instead of him but really not that big of a deal. If they pick Dumba it would allow them to clear cap space. He had little trade value last off-season so not even sure they will need to ask Suter to waive. The bet is they will take one of Dumba or Soucy but they will still have the other.

I’m looking forward to going to games in Abby. I don’t want to have to watch him play but dammit I’ll do if it keeps him away from the Canucks. Offer him the same retirement/job as Roberto got in Florida and name him a special advisor. Nothing says you have to take his advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says you have to take his advice. Luongo is getting paid at market value for his position. The CBA considers cap circumvention if they agree on post retirement compensation to make up for lost salary. It can result in cap penalties and/or the loss of draft picks.
